lyrics
Take a pause, take a break,
Take a minute, take a day,
Feel free to take all the time you need,
‘Cuz the bill’s coming due,
In a theater near you,
So stay here, where we can find you with ease.
I’m here for our debts,
And I aim to collect,
But I don’t need to use any force,
I only need
Leave you at your own mercy,
For nothing I do could be worse.
Stay a day, stay a year,
But you better not stay here,
Where we all know your face and your faults.
‘Cuz the clock’s moving forward
Of its own accord,
And not a thing that you do makes it halt.
As you stood there grinnin’,
‘Cuz you thought that you were winnin’,
‘Till the losers came around for round two.
So as you shiver and you shake,
Take stock of your mistakes.
They’re all that will be left to you.
Just inhale, take a breath,
Let it fill up your chest,
Your head was swimming, now it’s treading water.
And you know in your core,
You should walk out the door,
Just like everybody here says you oughta.
On your way out, you see mirror,
You look, and hope you’ll differ,
From the past, but you see, ashamed,
That there’s not a way
That you’ve even changed,
From top to bottom, you’re still the same.
Take a minute, take a day,
Feel free to take all the time you need,
‘Cuz the bill’s coming due,
In a theater near you,
So stay here, where we can find you with ease.
I’m here for our debts,
And I aim to collect,
But I don’t need to use any force,
I only need
Leave you at your own mercy,
For nothing I do could be worse.
Stay a day, stay a year,
But you better not stay here,
Where we all know your face and your faults.
‘Cuz the clock’s moving forward
Of its own accord,
And not a thing that you do makes it halt.
As you stood there grinnin’,
‘Cuz you thought that you were winnin’,
‘Till the losers came around for round two.
So as you shiver and you shake,
Take stock of your mistakes.
They’re all that will be left to you.
Just inhale, take a breath,
Let it fill up your chest,
Your head was swimming, now it’s treading water.
And you know in your core,
You should walk out the door,
Just like everybody here says you oughta.
On your way out, you see mirror,
You look, and hope you’ll differ,
From the past, but you see, ashamed,
That there’s not a way
That you’ve even changed,
From top to bottom, you’re still the same.
